Edinburgh Food Social is a social enterprise that works towards food justice and wellbeing by educating young people and communities about local, seasonal food.

Our work is focused on improving the life chances of people facing the challenges of poverty in our very local area of Craigmillar and then across other areas of Edinburgh, including Gracemount, Portobello and Dumbiedykes. These areas suffer significant economic deprivation, poor nutritional education, and often have poor access to healthy, local food.
